It is important to remember that "Just because it's on GitHub doesn't mean it's free"... some GitHub projects are visible but technically closed source. And some are private, visible only to an invited few.
What Programming Languages do you use?

True not all programmers put out free stuff or source code on their GitHub.
Careful what you assume. I'm a programmer in my day job and never used GitHub (though I have heard of it, and probably should learn how to use it one day).

Assume means assume.
A note on the Makhidkarun GitHub repo code choices as referred to in their subtitles:
9 - Python
7 - C
4 - Go
3 - PHP
2 - Java
1 - Sqlite
1 - Javascript
Some seem up for adoption. Some could use beta testers and feedback. All are free and open source as far as I know.
Addendum: The Makhidkarun organization, such as it is, does not claim copyright on your code if you put it in the repo. We're more about giving Travellers an easy place to find what they need. And to build CharGen tools in yet another language.

I think I've used about 30 different programming languages in the past, at least to the extent of doing a comp. sci assignment or something equivalent in them.
Some of the ones you missed include:
Some of the ones you missed include:
- Several Pascal/Object Pascal dialects - more if you count Modula-2 and a couple of flavours of Oberon (used in the JADE RAD tool).
- Several flavours of Smalltalk - one of the saddest also-rans in the history of computer science.
- One could count sed and awk as an extension of 'Shell' and, yes sed is turing complete - here is an implementation of Sokoban in sed. In the same vein, here's a universal turing machine simulator written in sendmail.cf.
Heh, that's me... I just added javascript to my repertoire with this project of adding some features and fixing some bugs in the Classic Traveller online character generator.

Did you vote for other?
Always one in the crowd.
Good job Frank! My PHP skills, like my repos, are growing stale. Having a web enabled front end is great. Having a single language front to back can be good but takes work. Have you looked at the MEAN/MERN stack?
I'm not the originator of the project. I just decided to contribute after my players were using it and the number of bugs were pointed out.Always one in the crowd.

There is one thing I am ending up liking about it. I can host it on my personal web page if I decide to fork from the original and I don't need any special web hosting resources.

I'm looking at all the programs I've written for Traveller. It looks like a 3-way tie so far with the languages I used. IBM 4361 FORTRAN 77, ZX81 BASIC, and Windows 32-bit Python 2.5.

Just found some TANDY Color Computer 3 BASIC09 code. This must have been for TNE stuff.

I see Pascal is dead.
Hardly, Delphi is flying the Pascal flag -- rating of 41.
The real surprise on that list to me is R.
Why surprised? It's pretty big these days.

R is everywhere, dude.
Is R the open replacement for SPSS?
